A Peaceful Project

With their big yellow blooms on tall green stalks waving gently in the summer breeze - it's no wonder the sunflower has become a symbol of world peace.

The Sunflower Project encourages people in every country to plant sunflower seeds somewhere it will be noticed by all. The intent of this simple gesture is to spread a message of harmony throughout all nations.

The movement began in 1996, when defense ministers from the United States, Russia and Ukraine celebrated the dismantling of Ukraine's nuclear warheads. The three officials all planted sunflower seeds where missile were once buried.

Even if you can't plant a sunflower where you live - you can still spread the message by using Sunflowers of Peace Personal Checks from CheckAdvantage.
